Let the numbers be x and y
y=5x
y-x=236
5x-x=236
4x=236
x=59
5=5*59=295
Answer:
If you mean 2 and 3 it would be (x-2)(x-3)=0
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-2)=0
x-2=0 move the two on the other side to get positive
x=2
(x-3)=0
x-3=0 move the three on the other side to get positive
x=3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
0.75 feet / day [ 1 day / 24 hours] * [12 inches / 1 foot]
This process is called dimensional analysis. The trick it uses is to cancel out units (like feet or days ) where possible. In this case, 1 day is going to cancel out and leave behind 24 hours. 1 foot will cancel out and leave behind 12 inches.
It is well worth learning how to do this, because the process is done in the higher sciences.
So what you are left with is
0.75 * 12 inches / 24 hours
0.75 inches /hour * 1/2
0.375 inches / hour.
